The $20,000 medical marijuana challenge

[Markass]

This is just as much to do with medical marijuana as with politics...Nothing from these bastards yet, caught in a bold lie, and cannot prove any of their opinions toward marijuana..Anywho, the MPP is offering a maximum contribution of $10,000 to any of the three republican candidates (Romney, Giuliani, and Mccain) that can prove factually the statements that they have said in regards to medical marijuana. Ahh, the lies associated with American politics..I bet these fuckers are getting a lot more from big pharm for not saying anything though..

[rebgirl420]

I doubt that any of the candidates would answer.


Just like usual. They just avoid the questions.

[killerweed420]

Its not just the repugs but the democraps too. I emailed my senator about the medical mj issue and said she would never be for legalizing it because of all the bad health effects it causes according to NIH.
Its going to take referendums and initiatives from the people at the state level to ever get any meaningful legislation passed.

I argree with ya! We usually, as a rule, don't like double threads around the forums but if you'd like to put this in either Medical Marijuana News OR Activism.......you have my support!:thumbsup:

Just to be clear....this WILL stay in Politics also.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

don't let her feed that b/s to you, you're a pot smoker! Tell her that 12 states allow people to use it with their doctors approval and consent, and that the federal government delivers a tin filled with pre-rolled marijuana cigarettes to seven individuals in the united states every month..If you know anyone who benefits from it, bring it up to her, let her know just how it improves their lives, and how they're not criminals just because they want to feel better..

God Damn it.

I take all this CRAP, pain doesn't subside, I'm incoherent, and, I end up going through serious withdrawals, afterwards.

I take one, lung-filling hit of cannabis, and, not only is that problem CURED, but, other "un-treatable" conditions are, either, cured or drastically eased.

Drastically. Every drug, I've ever taken, has never, ever, ever, improved my focus-time. That's why cannabis is not a drug. Because, it almost erases my double-vision.

And, where can they find a drug that can slow one side of my brain down, and, speed up the other?

Nicely put :stoned::thumbsup:

[StickyfingahZ]

Thanks for the links,Those were good.I found myself laughing at some of their quotes.Pain meds dont work for me and my doctor told me that If I continue taking percocet my kidneys woud shut down and I'd be on dialasys by the time I'm 33.I dont see how they would rather me take something thats gonna make me worse.
Just ignorance on their part I guess........

[Psycho4Bud]

Great links, great thread.......be sure to give it the proper rating!:thumbsup:

Have a good one!:s4:

[epxroot]

I read about this a few months ago. It's kind of funny how there are no responses from any of the candidates! They're all liars and all they do is deceive the general public.

[altered13]

I think the real problem is that citizens in general are easily mislead. Media is a prime contributor. We are fed all of this shit and some start believing it, thus most candidates supporting the legalization of mj will most likely lose. We must first educate, then legalize. I dont see any other way, cuz you know the ppl in the white house wont do anything to keep their pharmacies and corporation friends from making money.

Vote Ron Paul for medical marijuana freedom! We All need to vote this time around! See what happens when we get a worthless piece of redneck shit in the white house! Hope we vote and for the right one!

Doesn't matter if he doesn't win the electoral college which I seriously doubt he will.

[GrinS]

5 cancers huh?

that seems like u need to x it by 20000

[yokinazu]

actually they did up the stakes to 20k
cannidates are only allowed to take 5k in the primarys and 5k in the general election then the mpp will donae 10k to their favorite charitie.

since these guys are in the stoneage when it comes to the bud they wont execpt the challange. they have called out rudi and his ties with purdu pharma, who are the makes of oxycontin. and called out mccain on hs ties to anheuser-bucsh. but still 5k aint much money. alot of companies own other companies, for instance GM owns frigidaire, and they own browning firearms. so GM may only conribute 5k but when all the companys they own also contribute 5k. and all the companys they own contribute 5k well you can see that turns into quite a substantial amount of money

Have you already started a thread about how mj has helped you? This is very interesting to me.

Gulianni be puffin in da bronx

I hope that's sarcastic...if it isn't, maybe you should do some reading on that weasel..

Rudy Giuliani has again lashed out at medical marijuana on the campaign trail:

"I believe the effort to try and make marijuana available for medical uses is really a way to legalize it. There's no reason for it," the former New York mayor said during a town hall-style meeting at New Hampshire Technical Institute.

He also said there are better alternatives.

"You can accomplish everything you want to accomplish with things other than marijuana, probably better. There are pain medications much superior to marijuana," he said. [AP]

I've already written about the potent irony of Giuliani's opposition to medical marijuana, but if he wonâ??t shut up about this, neither will I. If Rudy Giuliani won't stop talking trash about medical marijuana, and endorsing pharmaceutical alternatives, I wonâ??t stop bringing up the fact that he worked as a hired consultant for OxyContin manufacturer Purdue Pharma.

Giuliani has less than no credibility on this issue because he worked for a company that is in direct competition with medical marijuana. It's really that simple. His claims that medical marijuana is part of a broader legalization conspiracy are also ironic considering that Giuliani played a key role in keeping OxyContin legal after it was linked with widespread abuse. Giuliani personally met with former DEA administrator Asa Hutchinson and persuaded him to leave Purdue alone. Meanwhile, abuse of pharmaceutical drugs, particularly OxyContin, has become the fastest growing drug problem among America's youth.

To be clear, I don't believe OxyContin should be illegal. Patients must be allowed to choose medicines based on what works for them, whether it be OxyContin, medical marijuana, or tree bark. But the transparent hypocrisy of Giuliani's behavior is so over-the-top that it is just impossible to ignore.

those three are un-American, the fact that this country was founded on the back bone of weed makes em all blastfemers. .................hahaha

[beachguy in thongs]

Have you already started a thread about how mj has helped you? This is very interesting to me.

I have been starting threads, for three years, explaining the actions cannabis has on every single symptom, from two car-accidents, while explaining the actions of every other drug, on each symptom.

Cannabis defeats them, easily, from my left pinky-toe to my brain and from my right pinky-toe to my left ear.

Not one symptom has been eased by any medication the doctors have provided. I am legally an alien. This legal world can't touch my pain (which includes non-painful injuries).

Pot is my pillow, my bed, my crutch, my morning coffee, my angel, and, the table where my rubber band rests after being stretched, then flung across the room.

[epxroot]

Stuff like this just really pisses me off beyond belief! These people are not elected to tell us what is bad and good for our bodies, they're elected to run our damn country and most of them can't even do that right! We need to become more united and demand the changes we want. Why can't we have a million man march and show the world how the stereotype on weed smokers are NOT true whatsoever. There are people who use this plant for medication and guess what? It works!! This just blows my mind, more than if I had a UFO land right on my damn head! We need to use this tool called the internet and organize.

one day these people will realize the truth about drug prohibition

it doesn't work, people are gonna do whatever they want

there needs to be a federal system of education and rehabilitation instead of fear and propaganda :rastasmoke:

[marijuanavillebilly]

i wrote an essay of equalizing marijuana with alcohol and tobacco, the main point in it was this, which do you see least harmful, take drug A which has killed say 100,000 ppl the past year(car accidents etc), drug b which can cause roughly 5 cancers, or drug c get high and chill? marijuana has never been proven to harm others the way cigs and booze do, nuff said

drug A is alcohol.
the idea of 100,000+ people dieing from alcohol is because of overdose...everclear...ugh....the alcohol did not kill the person in the accident, the accident did. thats like blaming a pencil for bad pen men ship.

If your the one doing the test for the test proof of marijuana being bad for you and your also arranging the testing. You can create a variation or environment friendly to your wanted out come and for your independent parties your testing on. Thus they could come up with something and still make a little money and make MMP look bad. Theres no point in arguing it much anymore, just keep at what were doing and let it come as it comes. :rastasmoke:

I think if you were using it to treat an illness or pain and were in a non-medical state, you would likely consider this a more important issue :thumbsup:

[yokinazu]

i feel the need to restate somthing here.the most that can be contributed to a campaign fund is $5000. the challange is 5k for the primary 5k for the general election nd 10k to their favorite charity.

no marijuana whatsoever?? come on now, we have the toughest drug laws in the world, and over the years there is now more marijuana that is more potent than ever in this country...they may be able to limit precursors on other drugs, but they can't limit sunlight, soil and water..never..:thumbsup:

Sure, that's all true - but it's also very dangerous to get, which fuels law enforcement. It's not just big pharm that's against legalizing it. I'm with junior - if another right wing extremist gets in office this time around, it could be bad for 'wars' on all fronts (terror, drugs, privacy).

[gainesvillegreen]

I dont see how they would rather me take something thats gonna make me worse.
Just ignorance on their part I guess........

Because they stand to make large sums of money from doing so.

[angry nomad]

Why doesn't the MPP offer Ron Paul the chance for the 20,000? Oh, because they would lose it. Or at least publicly endorse him?

[expandingeye]

I think thats obviously because they support him and know his views on the issue. The point is to just show how full of bullshit romney, giuliani, and mccain truely are. Which I think is very easy to see if you watch their youtube clips on their responses to medical marijuana.
I agree about not wanting any of the 3 i mentioned be elected. i cant believe they even win primaries with their complete bullshit approach. :(

I've never seen anything at all happen from simply saying...oh gee, the laws haven't changed in 70 years, there's nothing we can do..

For something that I truly believe is not wrong, and something that makes my life so much better, it makes no sense to not have any sort of desire or passion to change the laws against this natural occurrence...

In this day and age, when it's illegal for me to grow plants inside my house and consume marijuana inside the privacy of my own home because it makes my life better, me not impeding on the liberties of ANYONE whatsoever...this isn't a free country, I'm sorry, but it's not.

To me happiness is living without pain, and if marijuana can do that for me, who the hell are they to say no?

[cannaninja]

Obviously this all should be taken to the media with ALL factual cited information. How does the entire public NOT know about the misinformation they're given, and the beneficial solid information? I think we can all guess fairly easily. I live in a conservative caucasian (mostly christian) state where everyone I know looks down upon ANY cannabis use. I mean I think its really funny that our average highway patrolmans hat is made from HEMP and everyone is too ignorant and trusting in the government to see the absolute truth. The media is the most powerful information engine we have wether it be tv, radio, news papers, internet, and even our cell phones! This should all be known just as school children should be able to tell you why our forefather fought. I'm young but even so I'm getting entirely too fed up with nothing happening. I was taught in school the D.A.R.E. program from a dare officer. Now I'd like to go to every D.A.R.E. division and officer and show them all of the truth with cited information telling them where to find out on their own the real story. We need to do something effective something real. Jack Herer and others like him are only our predacessors we need to take it from here! Revolution anyone? I'd say its about time.

:wtf:-cannaninja

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

What I do not understand is what happened to my generation "grew up in the 70s and 80s" Back then it seemed almost everyone under 40 smoked MJ. Now we are a bunch of Christian Conservitives "WTF happened" Even under Reagan I was never this worrried about smoking MJ or even Talking about it. Hell I am so afraid now to go to smok-ins or any other function of this type, It has gotten so bad that I stand to lose everything I have worked for in life I were to come out in public and say I smoke MJ.

And I thought my generation would get it right. (We Still Have Time)
